Yes, there is a lot of talk about the "ringers" in the finals this season.
I believe the actual rules states that they can't be under any current contracts.
But that just means that anyone that is under 29 (?) that has failed in a previous attempt can try again through AI. That doesn't seem fair to those people that have absolutely no professional experience.
So, yes, I feel it should be truly amateurs only.
